Peer Mentors consist of students grades 6-8. They mentor 5th grade students to help them feel a part of South Meadow School. Mentors meet with the fifth graders to answer questions and see how the year is going. This group has just completed Training!
Because of weather issues the Annual Turkey Trot was not able to be held until May 2019 and got renamed the "Thing in the Spring" . Here are the 5th and 8th Grade winners. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!

Dear Fifth Grade Student,



Welcome to South Meadow School!  We are very excited about our new school year!  We will be studying a variety of subjects and topics throughout the school year.  You will learn about ecology and ecosystems, the place of value system and fractions, and how our country was formed, to name a few.  With the ChromeBooks that will now be available to all fifth grade students, you will have the opportunity to explore computer technology and learn a variety of ways to use it in  your projects and presentations.  Of course, we will also read some great books and do some excellent writing!



There are a few supplies that you will need for your fifth grade year.  They are:



1 one subject spiral notebook for health class
1 sturdy pocket folder - plastic or laminated for health
2" binder (for all-grade organization) Trapper Keeper or similar type notebook works the best!
Pencils, pencils, pencils!
Pencil pouch that fits in binder
Erasers
Highlighters (any color)
Black ultra fine point sharpie (for science and social studies)
Colored Pencils
Earbuds or headphones
Labeled water bottle
Silent reading book
A SMILE!



In the classroom, we have a supply of crayons, markers, paper and glue sticks, so you won't need to purchase any of those items.  It would be most helpful if you had the above mentioned supplies when you come to school on Wednesday, August 28, 2019.  Should any of these items create a financial burden for your family, please don't fret, just let your classroom teacher know!  Please make sure you have a snack and a lunch or lunch money to put on your account for the first day.  Also, please be prepared to go outside each day, so bring or wear sneakers to school.



PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION REGARDING SMS AND GRADE FIVE:  sms.convalsd.net



Sincerely,



Your Granite Team Teachers:  Mrs. Decibus, Mrs. Hautanen, Mrs. Hayes, and Mr. Iwanowicz

Dear Fifth Grade Student,



Welcome to South Meadow School!  We are very excited about our new school year!  We will be studying a variety of subjects and topics throughout the school year.  You will learn about ecology and ecosystems, the place of value system and fractions, and how our country was formed, to name a few.  With the ChromeBooks that will now be available to all fifth grade students, you will have the opportunity to explore computer technology and learn a variety of ways to use it in  your projects and presentations.  Of course, we will also read some great books and do some excellent writing!



There are a few supplies that you will need for your fifth grade year.  They are:



1 one subject spiral notebook for health class
1 sturdy pocket folder - plastic or laminated for health
2" binder (for all-grade organization) Trapper Keeper or similar type notebook works the best!
Pencils, pencils, pencils!
Pencil pouch that fits in binder
Erasers
Highlighters (any color)
Black ultra fine point sharpie (for science and social studies)
Colored Pencils
Earbuds or headphones
Labeled water bottle
Silent reading book
A SMILE!



In the classroom, we have a supply of crayons, markers, paper and glue sticks, so you won't need to purchase any of those items.  It would be most helpful if you had the above mentioned supplies when you come to school on Wednesday, August 28, 2019.  Should any of these items create a financial burden for your family, please don't fret, just let your classroom teacher know!  Please make sure you have a snack and a lunch or lunch money to put on your account for the first day.  Also, please be prepared to go outside each day, so bring or wear sneakers to school.



PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION REGARDING SMS AND GRADE FIVE:  sms.convalsd.net



Sincerely,



Your Granite Team Teachers:  Mrs. Decibus, Mrs. Hautanen, Mrs. Hayes, and Mr. Iwanowicz
